This is not supported by clinical findings. With various minor modifications, we repeated the experiment, infusing Omnipaque into the second dorsal interosseus muscle of four cadaver hands. We used real-time CT imaging to monitor the spread of contrast medium and side-ported needles to measure compartmental pressures. In all four hands, the tissue barrier between dorsal and volar interossei became incompetent at pressures of less than 15 mmHg. Our data indicate that, although cadaver infusion studies can delineate potentially significant musculoskeletal barriers, their physiological relevance must be confirmed clinically.
